With the help of their parents, the children make rabbit lanterns, star fruit lanterns or square lanterns out of bamboo paper, hang them horizontally on short poles, and then erect them on tall poles. When they are high up, the colorful lights shine, adding another scene to the Mid-Autumn Festival. In addition, there are sky lanterns, which are paper-bound large lanterns with candles lit under them. The heat rises, causing the lanterns to fly in the air, attracting people to laugh and chase them. In addition, there are children playing and enjoying various lanterns in their hands under the moon.Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi - burning tile lampsIn addition, the game of burning tile lamps (also known as burning flower towers, burning tile towers, and burning foreign towers) is widely spread in the south, and is popular in Jiangxi, Guangdong, Guangxi and other places. For example, Volume 5 of the Records of Customs of China states: “On the night of the Lantern Festival in Jiangxi, children usually pick up tiles in the wild and pile them into a round tower with many holes.Hong Kong - Fire dragon dance, stilt showDancing fire dragon. It is the most traditional custom of the Lantern Festival in Hong Kong. A grand fire dragon dance event was held in the Tai Hang area of Causeway Bay for three consecutive nights. This fire dragon is more than 70 meters long, with a dragon body made of 32 sections of pearl grass and filled with longevity incense. On the night of the event, the streets and alleys of the district were bustling with winding fire dragons dancing to the lights and dragon drum music. Stilt-walking clubs are usually organized by the masses spontaneously. The street parade begins on the 11th and 12th day of the first lunar month, implying that people should register for one of the many folk flower festivals this year. The street festival officially starts on the 15th day of the first lunar month and ends on the 18th. There were "seven sacrifices" in ancient times, and these are two of them. The method of sacrifice is to insert a willow branch above the door, insert a pair of chopsticks into a bowl of bean porridge, or directly place wine and meat in front of the door.Summary: The above article content is an analysis of some traditional customs and activities of southerners celebrating the Lantern Festival that the editor would like to introduce to readers.
